What english speaking  accent do you find it most difficult to understand?

I LOVE the Canadian accent, but I do struggle with it
Same with Irish

Um... Austrian I think. Wolfgang Puck, whatever he is. That's barely English, in my opinion.

almost all english speaking accents i could understand, unless they have a strong accent which gets in the way of their ability to speak certain sounds.

ironically, i think my accent is very bad, i have trouble with "r"s it takes me forever to get someone to understand

I have more conversations with dialtones than i do with people.

Canadian accent.
Right-o.

I don't sound any different than the people in California do when I go down there. Maybe you're thinking of a Newfie Accent? Or French-Canadian?

But South African.

I may not agree with what you say,
but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

When I went to Ireland, I had trouble understanding some people. I had to ask them to repeat what they'd said, and I was so embarassed. And then I was like, "This is why people hate American tourists, isn't it?"
